Transport Planning Day 2021 Sponsors

We’re hugely grateful to our sponsors for their support for our Transport Planning Day campaign 2021. The theme for this year is Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Transport which has resonated across the profession.

The support from our partners enables us to shine a light on transport planning and its role in delivering accessible places for all people; as well as featuring positive role models to inspire the next generation of transport planners.

We are delighted to partner with AECOM as Platinum sponsor of the campaign.

PLATINUM

"Transport Planning is at the core of our vision to build a better world, with our team delivering both local and nationally significant schemes. Transport is a key enabler for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion ; it is an area we are passionate about in AECOM and therefore keen to engage in the dialogue on how we use transport to break down barriers to being inclusive. Sponsoring Transport Planning Day provides an excellent opportunity to celebrate the great work of the industry and most importantly the benefit gained by communities across the UK."

Head of Consulting and Head of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. AECOM

GOLD

"Arup is once again delighted to support Transport Planning Day as Gold sponsor. We strongly support this year’s theme of equality, diversity and inclusion, which aligns closely with the Arup values. How we design our cities impacts on people’s lives, so we must ensure that the transport systems on which our cities depend are welcoming to all. We recognise that this is best achieved through diverse teams, that are shown to increase innovation, create more equitable solutions, and better understand the diversity of the communities that we operate in. We look forward to working with TPS and the other sponsors to promote EDI within the great profession of transport planning.”

Stephen Bennett, Director of Transport Consulting, Arup

"Jacobs put people at the heart of our business. We have an unparalleled focus on inclusion, with a diverse team of visionaries, thinkers, and deliverers. We embrace all perspectives, collaborating to make a positive impact. That’s why we are thrilled to support this year’s Transport Planning Day, with its theme of equality, diversity and inclusion. As we look to “build back better” we have a fantastic opportunity as transport planners to develop projects and policies that are conceived, appraised, designed, and monitored in a more equal and diverse way; with teams which better represent the communities that we serve. Working together, we aim to create great places that celebrate cultural diversity, are accessible by people from all walks of life and will leave a safe and sustainable legacy for future generations."

Richard Sanderson, Head of Transport Planning, UK and Europe, Jacobs
